I basically have most of the contents of the last two starter boxes and looking for advice on how to bring it into a balance list. Probably mostly adding transports and tanks.

I'm pretty confident converting and magnatising so open to suggestions that involve that. Currently I have

  • 3 power armored bodies (open to concert into any of the generic characters)
  • 5 cata terminators (looking to make justarean)
  • 20 legionaries (I'm looking to make reavers)
  • 20 mk6 (aiming to make 10 seekers and 10 into assault)
  • 40 mk2 ( I have no clue how to arm have disentegrators, plasma and melta guns, open to sourcing heavy weapons too)
  • 1 saturnine dread
  • 1 saturnine praetor
  • 4 saturnine terminators
  • one Spartan

Where do I go from here think mainly into SoH specific command choices and then what tanks or support guns I need to build up to a balanced 3k list (no horus at this point yet though)

Upgrade pistols wherever possible to take advantage of Volley Fire. Get a couple of Land Raider Carriers for your vanguard troops to assault from. Abaddon is expensive, but he'll enable you to deep strike your Justaerin. Regular terminators are also good, since they get the volley fire buff. I'm going to try a game this weekend with Vheren Ashurhaddon in a unit of Chieftains + legion standard, lets see how much I can get out of winning challenges. If you're interested in using allies, 2 units of Auxillia lasrifles and a tactical command section will give you 2 cheap line units for objective camping and free up points for the point spendy stuff.
